Sign into your accountMeet Michael Gabriel: The "East Coast's Craigslist" Is Now a Luxury Real Estate Leader
February 23 2018
When I interviewed Craig Newmark for California Real Estate magazine a dozen years ago, it struck me how down to earth and unassuming he was. After all, he had created one of the most pervasive and influential internet sites in the world. But Craig remained remarkably modest, humble and approachable. I called him the "Reluctant Internet Mogul." Last year, Forbes wrote how Craig has now become the reluctant internet billionaire.
When I interviewed him by phone, he spoke with me sitting at his favorite San Francisco coffee shop, dog treats in his pocket, ready for dispensing to an anticipated visitor as part of his daily routine. His story and his business/life philosophy were captivating and compelling. And he was so... San Francisco. He remains one of the most intriguing people whom I've ever interviewed. I became a lifelong fan.
Becoming the East Coast's Craigslist
Fast-forward to last year and an interview I had with Craig's East Coast counterpart, Michael Gabriel, founder of Gabriels Technology Solutions.
